Welsh Immersion Unit
Carreg Lam, which means stepping stone, is an immersion unit for primary school pupils in years 2 to 6 who want to transfer to Welsh-medium education.
The centre aims to support them to improve the skills and confidence needed to continue their learning through Welsh.
Children generally will join the unit for an intense learning period of approximately 12 weeks before then undergoing a period of transitioned integration into Welsh-language main-stream settings within Torfaen.
Our prospectus contains lots of useful information to explain all about our immersion centre.
